I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
Long term diabetes causes lot of metabolic changes in the body including musculo-skeletal system.
Your shoulder stiffness and pain may or may not be related to diabetes, which is not well controlled.
I would advise you to consult a good orthopedic expert and get evaluated about the exact nature of shoulder affection. Atorvastatin can sometimes cause muscle pain.
Be guided by an expert advice to prevent late deterioration.
Diabetes needs to be tightly controlled to avoid long term complications.
HbA1c levels give some idea of sugar control over 3 months.
Good that you are not needing pain killers.
If you need some, avoid NSAID class of drugs. Take paracetamol, tramadol or non –NSAID class of drugs.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Please ask for any clarifications before closing and rating this query.
Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole
